"Creative differences" strikes again.
Well this isn't good news for Warner Bros. and DC Films as The Hollywood Reporter has breaking news that THE FLASH director Rick Famuyiwa has left the movie due to the overused and generic "creative differences" reasons. Famuyiwa was the second director attached to this movie after Seth Grahame-Smith left the director's chair back in April.
Here's the statement from Famuyiwa to THR:
"When I was approached by Warner Bros and DC about the possibility of directing The Flash, I was excited about the opportunity to enter this amazing world of characters that I loved growing up, and still do to this day.
"I was also excited to work with Ezra Miller, who is a phenomenal young actor. I pitched a version of the film in line with my voice, humor, and heart. While it’s disappointing that we couldn’t come together creatively on the project, I remain grateful for the opportunity. I will continue to look for opportunities to tell stories that speak to a fresh generational, topical, and multicultural point of view. I wish Warner Brothers, DC, Jon Berg, Geoff Johns, and Ezra Miller all the best as they continue their journey into the speed force."
THE FLASH was reportedly set to begin filming in March 2017 and unless Warner Bros. and DC Films can find a director quickly it seems the entire production, and perhaps even its March 16, 2018 release date, could be delayed.
